True to size and it only took about an hour to break in. Very good looking and makes my feet look "clunky." I would buy again.

I absolutely love these shoes. They are incredibly comfortable and I am able to wear them with my orthodics. I like the splash of color as well. It makes the shoe more sporty and less boring than all white ones.

I usually wear a 6 regular but have read to always get a half size larger in athletic shoes and my last nikes were 6 1/2 so that's what I got. They are snug. Not sure if it's the width or length. I walk treadmill everyday and from first day I put them on and no problems. Good cushioning!! Good looking shoe!!

I bought these to wear on a vacation where we would do a lot of walking and needed a comfortable pair of shoes that provided a comfortable base and didn't restrict my toes. This pair worked great, they lost a point for the funky color (but it's growing on me). I can overlook a lot for comfort. I normally wear an 8 but have found That I need an 8 1/2 in fitness shoes or they all pinch my toes by the end of a workout.

Shoes were bought for my younger Sister who is Autistic--unfortunately, she's a little heavyset so she requires wide shoes all of the time! Since wearing them, there have been no complaints or issues as she would make us aware right away if her feet hurt! So the Product seems to be as good as advertised--would recommend to others! Thanks!

Overall I've been very happy with the shoes. I'm normally a size 7, but a reviewer said they run small and to order half a size up so I ordered a 7 1/2 and they fit great. Very comfortable right from the start. I do a lot of walking (usually walk min 5 miles /day and the shoes have worked well.

Very pretty shoes, only one thing to take care, the needlework behind the laces are uncomfortable, not for a Nikes.

These are wonderful shoes! I have had these shoes for over a year and a half and they have been in all kinds of conditions and have proved to be extremely durable. The comfort on these things is unreal and they look really cool as well. I really do not know how these shoes are not storming the market.

I have worn Nike's for 25 years and these felt very puffy and were about a half size bigger than I usually fit in Nike's. As far as structure they are basically what you expect from the "less expensive" Nike's now.

I can just say this shoes are the best!! I had been looking for some running shoes and let me say I was not wrong when I purchased them. They are very comfortable to wear. They are great if you are looking for workout shoes.

I received Item in timely manner and item was as described and happy with purchase. One thing I might add, I didn't receive a packing slip which I like to have in the event I need to return. All in all, happy customer.

I love Zappos! The delivery is so super fast. These sneakers are so comfortable. Nike shoes tend to run narrow as far as I am concerned, so I ordered wide. They're perfect!
I'd also recommend:
Asics, Avia, Alegria, Puma, Merrell, and Reebok.

I bought two pairs of these for my kids after their three month old Rykas fell apart. Nikes have always been good shoes for us and lasted for hand-me-downs to play in. I should not have strayed, but the cushioning on the Ryka shoes is really nice. Still, these look good and are holding up well so far - as expected. The only downside is that the laces are too short.

I got these in gray for my mom (an elementary school teacher who is on her feet all day). She has been raving about the arch support and comfort of these shoes

I brought the same shoe but in grey and I really liked the fit. I usually get back pain with wearing other brands and came to find that this did not give me any pain and decided to buy a black for work. As a nurse I am on my feet a lot and get back flare ups and this serves me very well.

I had been searching for running shoes that did the job and did not clash with anything else that I may be wearing. My husband actually saw these shoes on a woman at the gym and suggested that I give them a look. I went immediately to Zappos to read the reviews! I ordered the shoes immediately and I like them. They arrived in typical Zappos fashion and I have been wearing them to the gym and just around. They are comfortable, understated, light, fit my feet perfectly. Sorry you had to tweak me to review the shoes, just too busy wearing them to sit still. Details: I took advice from one review that suggested going up a size. I did. The shape of many running shoes narrows well before the toe and when running my foot would move to the front and bruise my big toe. Normally wear 6½ or 7 in shoes and boots. I ordered a 7½ and am both happy and comfortable.

I needed to correct my previous review! These are great shoes as I said, just as good as ones twice as much, and very comfortable. I put them down in my previous review as true to size because they fit great. But I forgot that that is because I read other reviews first, saw the advice to order a half size up, and did that. I usually wear a 9 in running shoes; these 9½ fit great.

These are great. I usually spend about twice as much on running shoes (I run about 12-20 miles a week generally) so I was worried that these would not be supportive or bouncy or durable enough, but they feel just as good as the much more expensive shoes that I have bought in the past. I will not go back. I cannot speak to the arch support since I wear inserts.

These are awesomely comfortable! Shipping was fast, no damage to shoes or box. I am very happy with my order! Also the sizing was spot on with these. I am so happy that I did not have to return them but if I had to the return is so easy and quick!

Great fit, didn't realize it was all mesh until after I ordered it. I'm still happy with the shoes, feels great to walk on and keeps the pressure off my heels from how it's cut in the bottom. I ordered my normal size and they fit perfectly.
